Who should the New Orleans Pelicans pursue in free agency?

Sacramento Kings vs. New Orleans Hornets

The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to be aggressive in free agency to improve their overall roster and they have already demonstrated it. Just after 11 p.m. Sunday, when teams could start negotiating with free agents, Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Tyreke Evans was the first to meet with Pelicans general manager Dell Demps.

The Pelicans also could be targeting Denver Nuggets free agent small forward Andre Iguodala, New York Knicks small forward Chris Copeland or Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Kevin Martin.

At this point, Evans appears to be at the top of their list because of his versatility to play multiple positions. In four seasons with the Kings, Evans has played point guard, shooting guard and small forward and has averaged 17.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists.

Who should the Pelicans target in free agency capable of providing the most help this upcoming season? Give us your thoughts in the comment section below.
